Got a clicking noise that sounds like wheel bearings on my '02 F350 4WD dually. Going to order new Timken hub/bearing assembly but wondering if there is anything else I should/need to replace while I'm there?
Does the Hub assembly come with all seals, etc....or are there other items I should be doing while it's apart?

 

The hub is a sealed unit. Comes with ABS already installed too. As far as other components, if it needs a brake job, you've already go it apart. Might want to install all new pads and rotors while you're at it.

 

Check your ball joints, especially the lower for play.


I went to replace a hub bearing last year and noticed play in the lower ball joint and ended up replacing ball joints, brakes, hub bearings and all the seals, Also did maintenance on the locking hubs. It took me a weekend to do, but I saved about $1000 by doing it myself.

 

Brake pads need to come off, might as well replace them and possibly rotors if its been a while? I just got done doing this job this weekend. Get yourself a breaker bar to get them 4 nuts off the hubs... Mine were on there TIGHT.

Ball joints and u joints depending how much time you want to spend.

New hubs should come with new ABS sensors. Check your air lines to your hubs while you are there for cracks/tears etc. Replace as needed. Hose is 3/16 line and the fitting in the knuckle is a 1/8" MPT to 1/8" barb.

 

I regret not replacing the u-joints. Did not even cross my mind until I had it put back together. Oh well, playing the waiting game now!
